AND A UNIVERSAL REMEDY FOB DISEASE, This city is now the home of one of the most remarkable men of [homage—a man who has traversed the civilized globe, and established in almost every country which he has visited, ihcsale of his medicines for the relief of human suffering, and which are a cerium cure for disease in all its forms. We oliuue to Phofcssob Thomas Holloway, of London, It is now several sears since this benefactor of th» human race first proclaimed to the world, through the British press, that he had, after deep research, prepared a rem edy that was sure to eradicate disease. Years of nnitenl investigation into the laws of hu man physiology which control our bodies in i health and when diseased, led tm the inven-1 tern and preparation of the world-renowned Holloway’s Pills and Ointment. Near ly, il not quite one half of the human race have taken his mr dieines ! His name is as universally known over the globe as that'of Alexander, Napoleon, or Washington, when in the height of their ambitious career. If they conquered nations in the field of battle, Prolessor Holloway has, with no weapon but that of science, conquered disease in all its forms. His meritorious career is bounded by no imaginary lines of latitude and longi tude short of those marking the confines of civilization itself. No insulated country or nation was sufficiently extensive for the op eration of his enterprising and gigantic intel lect. Wherever disease has a residence, there he penetrated with his medicines, and left an enviable and enduring rrputalion.— Afier enlightening Europe, his fame spread over Asia and tlie civilized portions of Africa, and finally appeared in America. Ho has translated the cures he has performed and the virtues of his medicines into as many languages as the missionaries have the Bible. Governments, otherwise the most despotic, have been forced by the great value of his m'dietties and their popularity with the peo ple, to remove antiquated and time-honored restrictions upon the introduction of foreign medicines, and open their custom houses to a free introduction to the pills and ointment of this distinguished man. Empires and kingdoms removed the barriers of ages ngainst the introduction and sale of proprie tary or patent medicines, and freely permit ted Holloway’s medicines to become the phy sician of the masses.— N.

Wheat in Millers’ Hands. —The Roch ester Democrat of Wednesday morning says',: —"The total amount of wheat now in store here, on the way and to ho received during the coming season, is 448,000 bushels. V\ e might probable put it down in round num bers at half «' million. This we ascertain from inquiry at each of the mills in the city Some parcels are here awaiting buyers, but <, the quantity is not large. The lack of stor age room is one disadvantage that our mil lers fed. There is not much flower now in store here.

[Strictly confidential .] Dear Folks : Wc have run a few hours ahead of clock lime in dating this strictly confidential talk : but as there arc fictions in the law and likewise in the profits arising therefrom, why should there not be fictions in dates 7 By a random calculation we find that it it is Ncw-Yoar morning in St, Peters burg just about now. So, if any of you have con scientious qualms and wish to quiet them, just fancy that wc arc addressing you from that point. Wc wish to volunteer a few suggestions touching the proper manner in which the Brut day of the New Year should be spent. And as there is a difference in people, so we propose to remark under different heads, as follows: 1. Men. As whiskey must be cheaper by the quantity than by the small, study economy in these things. An to morrow is one of the days spoken of, those of you who live here will propably send down to s, and gel four or five quarts of whiskey. Not that there is none to be had in town —oh, no! There is plenty of it to be had right at home—inter nos. Ah ! We forget that this advice comes too late New-Ycarday will have come and gone two days before this will reach you. But then—it will do for 2. Those who believe themselves to be men. | next year. Men, This numerous and highly respectable class will probably think that they arc privileged to spend the day according to their own notions. We don’t intend to dispute that of course, because many of them have hid in a supply of ful geese, turkeys and chickens, preparatory to making a lime of it. This preparation, as many a physician can testify, is both very proper and very profitable. Taking all the circumstances of the ease into con sideration, it is highly probable that there are lour days in each year in which (ho human system oclu ally requires a more generous diet than during the remaining 361, to wit: I. Ncw-Year. 3. July 4Ui. 3. Thanksgiving. 4. Christinas. Wo say il is highly probable that the system requires a mure generous diet on the aboveimmed days than on any other. The hypothesis gains strength from the fact that it is tile custom to sup ply il with a least of fat things on those days; for, were il not customary, the hypothesis would he pure ly speculative and treated as the vagary of an idle dreamer. But it will not do to treat it thus, fur use lias a gray board and must bo respected. We dare not shake our lean fist in his face and say—“ This is all gammon!" No, we dare not do might turn into a beast with seven heads and ten horns and ride us down ; or, he might stop his paper and so starve us to death. So wo must beep quiet in self defense. Starling with the above hypothesis, il becomes us to recommend every man lu prepare breakfast over night, so that each may rise betimes and be in read iness to do the day honor. Ham and eggs, and sausages fried in butter—not less than imlfa-pound of butler to each dish, if three persons are to par ish o of thorn—should certainly grace the breakfast table. If a fat, pork steak can be procured so much the better. Pork grease is a fine hygienic agent. Il fills up the pores, and thus prevents waste of the system by perspiration ; and it performs many other important offices besides affording intense gratifica tion to the gastric region. The sausage should bo highly seasoned so that none may be able to know when Nature cries—" Enough.” Silly physiologists tell ns that undrugged Nature is the best guide in such matters. You know better; therefore we say, season your food highly and eat plenty of pork grease. Bread and butter—no, wo forget Hot biscuit— with just enough salvratus in it so that one can clev erly taste it, and not enough to melt _|la weight in butler—should not be wanting. From' four to six biscuits should bo eaten by every adult person, male and female. Then, to conclude the meal, one-lounh of a highly spiced mince pie to each person, is not too much. By die way, the pie should have at least hidf-a-giji of pajo brandy in it None but a cold-wa ter fanatic will object .to .this spiritual advioe. For breakfast, a good rule is—" Eat all you can." Remember that Alexander the Great always acted on this rule, and tbpt Jio achieved fame and died quite young. Tbo latter gopd lortope is attributed to bis heroic adherence to lho rule in .question. After breakfast, sit down in a hot, cioso room un. til church time, then pot on your best clothes and THE TIOGA COUKTY AGITATOR. v*' ~ t LJ S. : ■ % ! galo church* Should the pjreactjer reison bfeen deduing (br/jfc*ra that, under certhin conlin- : perance, righteousness and judgment locomej’con- Uie Union ought to be dissolved, and they siddr.that he hie: reference, to those who Be and attempt to im- ; .*- «' j . ‘“V k«. , _.. . poach ,U|® motives of those who are votmz for the' (teal and get drank.

Tnose who believe tbemielves to be men.— We have 100 little space to speak at length of this very numerous and highly—ahem!—this very numerous class. We are overwhelmed with the magnitude of the subject. As to eating, they will do well to fol low tho example of their fathers. Should they tread in their fathers' tracks, their fathers will certainly have no reason to find fault with them. They might eat freely of nuts, candies and sweetmeats in addi tion to tho regular meals. But this class not forget Hist there arc four days in the year on which they are expected to get drunk—not just a little tod died, but comfortably boozy. This delightful pas time is doubtless indispensable to the proper dcvel opinent of the tender faculties of youth. Drink, then, and don’t bo particular apont the liquor. Poor liquor is probably the best, not so much because it is the cheapest, as that it is most'in use and therefore, fashionable. Halloo as much as is possible, especial ly nights. This will show that you are not afraid 01 peace officers or of the night air. It will likewise lend to develop your lungs. Many young people die of Consumption because their lungs aro neglect ed. Dealing and drinking and getting drunk may be called accomplishments. Noisy men are always great men. The quiet, thoughtful looking fellows are small fry. Then, lake it as a general thing, Hie noisiest man is ihe greatest man What arc they doing in Congress 7 Oh, balloting and berating, adjourning and saving the Union. The indestructible and unscarcable McMullin still lives, end while he lives, we poor simple constitu ents may sleep in blessed security. Romo was saved by a watchful goose, and Rome held the goose sacred thenceforth. America may he saved by Mc- Mullin; and then shall every mulhn stalk become henceforth a sacred weed, emblematical of the valorous McMullin! So mote it be. Well, Mr. Giddingsof Ohio, recklessly undertook to explain something in a speech to which McMul lin had taken exceptions. The Old War Horse said in conclusion that he hoped no gentleman in the House would think that ha would notice anything that the gentleman from Virginia might say, except in the way of correcting palpable misrepresentation. Upon this, lire valorous McMullin arose in his wrath and says, says ho, “what does the gentleman mean I .Does that gentleman suppose he is capable of insulting me?’’ Here the gentleman was culled to order; but he didn’t cere a fig for order. Was he, to be called to order by gentlemen in their scats 7 and then McMullin subsided into his seat with lire air of an injured man. But McMullin is not to win and wear all the lau rels—no, indeed. Mr. Shorter is wide awake for the honor of saving the Union. He wag an inde pendent—he wore neither the rose of York or Lan caster. His constituents sent him there to do bis duly—to preserve the Union. Ho would do his do ty—he would preserve the Union. He wished to save the country from disgrace—from the disgrace ol electing Mr. Banks Speaker. The State of Mas sachusetts hud trampled on the Fugitive Slave Lap; therefore, the Slate of Massachusetts did not belong to the Union. And if the House ever got organized lie should offer a resolution to the effect that no gen. lleman, sustaining the position of Mr. Banks, and no other gentleman from Massachusetts, it entitled to a teat on that floor! Now, wasn’t that a tremendous announce mail 7 The clock on the Capitol should have held up its hands in amazement.- But it did not. It kept on wilh its impassioned tiok-tick-tick, as if nothing had happened. But the Congressmen fell solemn of course? No, they didn't! They set up a miserable giggle—the audacious; lightheaded scamps I They McMullined him and nothing shorter. This proves that we constituents are wotully misrepresented in Congress, We don't feel like laughing when the hfavo Shorter speaks—not we. Massachusetts is in danger. The South is determined to give the Bay Slate Jesse hr a Shorter out then ever. Should Congressmen giggle under such circumstances 7 Then • Mr. Smith, of Virginia said that hs an. derstood Mr. Banks to hake said at some time and at some place, that he would lot the Union slide, un der certain circumstances. Then Mr. Banks was a disunionist, and all (hose voting fot'him were to be ranked.under that head. Of coarse all such were traitors. If Mr. Banks had pronounced soeb a ter rible dccisiop it was time Die country knewil. No mistake abodl'that, in our opinion; At this'junc ture Mr. Grow arose and said— “The Congressional records show that members who are now' voting' for Mr. Richardson, and those with whom they are associated at the’South, have From Kauiai. ARRIVAL OF SHANNON-CONFERENCES. Lawrence, Friday, Deo. 7,1855—p. m, Positive information reached here to day that Gen. Pomeroy was a prisoner in the en emy’s camp—and subsequently we learned that they bad taken him down under a strong guard to Westport. There, it is said, he will be well treated meantime. Col Boone told me to-day that ho would be perfectly safe, and the Colonel is an honorable gentleman for a Border Ruffian. I was very much afraid that Pomeroy would be taken, and counseled him to follow another route as the parlies who had been in pursuit of us were anil scouring the Delasvare country. These miscreants have been committing some dep redations upon the.lndians, I learned today of two Indian houses they had broken open, and in one case they even tore up the floor to see if we were not concealed there. At present these scouring parlies appear to be bent on mischief. They fired the corn crib of one man in sight of Lawrence this forenoon—ihe owner being in Lawrence, and none but women and child at home. Anoiti er man came in about 3 o'clock io complain of outrages. They had entered his abode in his temporary absence, and, in spile of his family, searched the house, as they left they set lire to his hay-slacks. This lorenoon at about 12 o’clock ihe Gov ernor, arrived. The messenger he had sem up from Franklin came between 10 and 11. He was a merchant from Westport Wo; 1 forget his name; ho was a gentlemanly-look ing man, but one of those from the camp below. A deputation of lon men were dispatched by General Robinson to escort the Governor, and at the time 1 stated that digrnlary arrived wilh his escort, and ibree very gentlemanly looking companions: Col. Boone of West port, Col. Kearney of independence, and Col?Siricklnnd, who I believe is also a Mis sourian. These wore line, gentlemanly-look ing Southerners, hut I certainly would raiher have seen the Governor of the Territory come to his people in olher company. Per haps these were the only men who could have influence wilh the violent armed force below, and it might thus be Ihe best policy to have them here during (he pending of negotiations, buf if there was such a necessity, and I doubt it not, what on exemplification of the pitiful depth to which the Governor hud fallen? The conference lasted for an hour, when Gen. Robinson took the Governor and his parly homo to dinner. The matter was then finally adjusted and it was pronounced that the parties had “not understood each other,” What fearful misunderstanding I One cir cumstance struck these gentlemen, no doubl. The dead body of Barber, which had been brought in, was stretched qn one of the floors —decent enough, but in all ihe stern reality of death. Col. Boone expressed surprise and regret and begged that no one should mention ihe name of any gentleman ns hav ing been of the party that fired, until it could be proved. I wonder if the Governor’s eye fell on (hat relic of cold mortality, who yes terday was a valuable citizen, esteemed and beloved, and to-day a martyr to Ihe cause of Freedom. If he did look, did no accusing Nathan whisper to his startled conscience, "Thou art the man I” A scene of interest of the most distressing character occurred ibis afternoon. The wile of ihe murdered man came in ; she had not heard of her berenvemenl till 10-dny, and the agony she evidently fell was heartrending.— Others had regarded the scene with the stern interest and angry sorrow with which men can look upon -the mortal remains of one who has been their friend, but smitten down by their enemies. T-heir feelings were a species of elevated selfishness, a emmon cause making a common interest; but with her there was no sentiment in that moment of bitterness save of her irreparable loss. Never was a murder-more cold-blooded and atro cious. He had no weapons, not even a clasp knife, and' was a most estimable and inoffen- sive.inan. V ‘ About dusk the conference between Gov. Shannon and his friends on the one hand, and Geh. Rpbinson and other members of the Committee of Safety on (he other, was sus pended. ' There was Strong hope fhat the difficulties might be arranged, but the matter was loft open fur another conference. The fact is,fhe Governor -was wavering and va cillating--fel|he had got' into a bad position, and scarcelyknew how.lo get out of it. li .was also evident that he has but little power over the invaders who are in the Territory, and.have.been .already-recognized by him.— He dare .not close negotiations, least the camp Of Missourians should : rise against him and disclaim his authority. He must go back and consult with these men; and Atchison is said to be in the camp, ah Indian chief having declared to day that he was at an en campment some ten miles distant last night. The Governor is now most anxious for the troops, in order that they may prevent an attack by the Missourians. That is what he says, at least, but it is difficult to estimate the amount of confidence we can place ip the man who has first strengthened the arms of these invaders, and (hen seeks to escape the blow. 1 he Governor, and the other gentlemen with him, admitted that the.people below were to some extent uncontrollable, and that there was serious danger of their making an at tack. The Governor's present policy is to procrastinate till the troops come, in which case ho would like to have the control of them, in order to restore his powei ; but Col. Sumner refuses to come until he shall have dispatches that will render him independent. Thus matters hang in the balance, and any accident, or the vicious determination of the invaders, may kindle the flame of war, beyond human power to arrest it.—Corres pondence of Ihe N. Y. Tribune, Interesting Correspondence. Letter from Hon. A. F, Stone to C. AT. Clay. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 12, 1855. Hon. C. M. Clay —Dear Sir: Thg Ohio Republican Convention held in this city, 13ih of July last, instructed the State Central Com mittee, of which I am Chairman, to open a correspondence with the Republicans o( olher States, in regard to holding a National Re publican Convention. A portion of the Re publican press of this and other Slates, and a number of our most devoted friends, have ex pressed themselves in favor of holding an in formal Mass Republican Cenvenlion at Pitts burgh, on the 22d of February, to consult to gether and to organize a National Republi can Committee, preparatory to issuing a call for a Delegate Convention io nominate candi dates for President and Vice President. Does the proposition io bold ibis meeting, strike you favorably ? Might we expect a repre sentation at the meeting from Kentucky and the olher Southern Stales? The enemies of the Republican patty charge that it is a sec tional parly, confmedj to the (ree slates and opposed lo the people of the slave states. On the contrary wo think that freedom lo which the Republican parly is devoted, is na tional not sectional, and that our position of opposition lo all further extension of slavery ought lo commend itself to the generous and humane of the Slave Stales, whether slave holders or non-slapeholders. May we noi expect lo have a Republican electoral tickei, and numerous supporters in the Slave Slates during the next Prcsedenlial coniesi ! Very respectfully, A. P. STONE, Ch’m of R. S. C. Committee of Ohio. Reply of Mr. Clay, Louisville, Ky., Dec. 15, 1855 Hon. A. P. Stone: —Dear Sir: Your | favor of the 1-ih iusl is received. Accept rny thanks for your favorable consideration in asking the opinion of one so humble as my self. The Republicans of thu Slave States, though few, in number, are ijo new party. ■Faithful among the faithless, proof against t the seductions of offi.-e and the threutemngs of power, we stand firm upon the platform of our fathers of '76, in the world-wide spir it of the Declaration. We hold with Jeffer son and his distinguished cotemnornries—that slavery is an anomaly in a Republic, and against the law of Gud and man’s highest in stincts of right—that justice is always the highest expediency—(hat liberty and slavery cannot co-exist—but that one or the other must die ! Whilst on the one hand we base ourselves upon these central ideas which we inherited ns our birth-right ns true Republi cans, we do not forget that without law there can be no true freedom or progress. We have, therefore, studiously regarded the high obligations of the State and Federal Consti tution, and willingly subjected ourselves to their supremacy, even when perverted by mercenary majorities from their true spirit. We regard those as sufficiently anti-slavery for all practical purposes—us found in their own language to establish liberty and justice —that liberty is national and slavery sec tional, in elaboration of which idea I refer you to ihe lute letter of the venerable F. P. Blair, the distinguished friend and confiden tial adviser of Andrew Jackson. We are neither the advocates of centralization nor disunion, but the friends of National and State rights in the ample spheres of progress and reform with which ihe wisdom of our fathers compassed both. We therefore be lieve it to he our bounden duly as good men and true Republicans, to oppose nationally the exislence of slavery, under any pretense whatever, in places of exclusive National domain, by sea and land, and to bring Ihe moral and political influence of the National government permanently and firmly and avowedly on Ihe side of liberty, as it has heretofore been arrayed on the side of slavery. And, as the friends of liberty have acquiesced, without revolutionary resistance, in Ihe rule of slavery, so we demand that the slavery propaganda shall acquiesce in the new rule of liberty and law, and they shall be justly branded as traitors to both North and South who counsel or act in violation of this only possibility of popular government 1 Now, sir, there are many in the Slave Stales ready to act openly with the Republi con parly— more who secretly sympathise with the movement—and (in my judgement) a majority of all the South who will acquiesce tn our rule. I believe that the lime has now come when Ihe majority of the American people are ready to vindicate the faith of our fathers in man’seapability of self-government. But it cannot be disguised that this majority is now fragmentary and disorganized, and it requires sagacious leadership and self-sacrifi cing patriotism to array them, in successful Opposition to the concentrated and drilled forces of the present pro-slavery adminislra- lion. I think, then, your suggestion is one, and lhat it will meet Iba views whole Republican party. For the sake r unity, let the first meeting at Pittsburgh „„ the 22d of February next, be as horooLL, os possible. Theri let the National CommiZ open on octive and conciliatory correspond ence with all of those who oppose ih slave propagando. Let Whig and Dem* ocrat —Know Nothing and anti-Know-Nou," ing—Catholic and Protestant...oatire ho' and adopted—and all shades of opinion be urged by the great necessity of imtnedmuj action, to save, if possible, the Republic form its threatened submersion into one of ths most relentless despotisms which has over darkened the pages of history I My dear sir, I know that you feel me the world-wide consequences of i|, e crisis. May the God of our father move us to do our whole duty. I am your obedient servant, C. M. CLAY. Wbite Slaves.
